Alexa, who is paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours, had gross weekly wages of $598 for 48 hours worked. What is her regular hourly rate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$11.50 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular hours: 40

Overtime hours: 8

40y + 8y(1.5) = 598

40y + 12y = 598

52y = 598

y = 598/52 = 11.50

Check: 40 x $11.50 = $460

8 x $17.25 = $138

$460 + $138 = $598
